On Liberals and the 2nd Amendment: Why Repeal What You Already Ignore?

Make no mistake about it, in the hands of the American left, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is not safe. For that matter, virtually nothing wise or precious or sacred or holy or otherwise good is safe with those corrupted by a liberal worldview. Whether marriage, the family, the church, life in the womb, education, small businesses, fossil fuels, law enforcement, the military, the Constitution, and so on, time and again liberals have proven themselves to be on the wrong side of the truth.

What’s more, in the hands of today’s leftists, the Second Amendment—and anything else in the U.S. Constitution with which modern liberals are unhappy—is in jeopardy whether or not it is “repealed.” As most now well know, John Paul Stevens—a retired associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court—recently gave his direct endorsement to the shockingly foolish—but increasingly popular among democrats—idea that the Second Amendment should be repealed...

For two centuries the “right” to healthcare, housing, a “living wage,” marriage, education, and the like, escaped the vast majority of Americans—including our politicians and jurists...

The First is already gone. Ever hear of political correctness? Free speech only exists until you offend one of the power groups.

My Late Mother used to say “You help people who can’t help themselves, not people who won’t help themselves”.

The “you” in her statement was not the Government.

I stand corrected.

There’s about 3% of the people who are on the gov’t dime who are truly needy, and should be helped. We should be the people that help them willingly instead of having the government do it for us. You are entirely correct in that.

Thank you for the correction, FRiend.
